Ultralight Fishing, Shimano Stradic 1000 HG, Manzanillo, México

Second day of fishing in Manzanillo, Mexico. This time it's ultralight gear 10lb. braid. Jack Crevalle fishing with a Shimano Stradic 1000 HG and Daiwa Kage KAG712ULFS 7’1” ultra light two piece rod. Lure is a LuckyCraft 110 Sardine. Nothing better than jack fishing with a trout rod!

Very nice - I’m also a UL fisherman who chases jacks/trevallies (but in Hawaii) and like you I do throw sizeable hardbody lures (up to 95mm) for them with my 1k size setups. Will be spending a lot of time in Mexico for random reasons - and I don’t really know how to fish on sandy beaches in the surf.
What is your setup like and what lures work? Also, do you need a beefier ultralight rod/line to drag them out of the surf once they’re beat? I usually fish with delicate rods JDM rods using 5lb braid with very fast action rods but not sure if I’ll need to go with slower and stouter rods or bigger line for this.
Are there things to catch with very small lures?

@@kawikachee929 Thanks for watching! I was just messing around when I hooked a jack on a Lucky Craft 110. That bait is just a little heavy but it worked great! All my tackle is in the description. I also have a video on the reel and rod combo.
If you’re using smaller lures, it probably would be harder to cast the distance.
I’ve caught trout on the same rod and on jigs as light as 3/16 oz. but I could barely cast them.
